Glad to see her out and about again. While I do have a feeling that she's "semi-retired" from her duties, it's still very good to see her.

Yes, IMO Alexandra is much frailer than her older brother. While the Queen lives I think the older Kents will continue on with as many engagements as they can manage, but after that it will be retirement for both.

Well it appears that I may have been wrong regarding Princess Alexandra's possible retirement. Her calendar has been filling up in the past two months.

84-year-old Princess Alexandra steps up with an increased diary of engagements ? Royal Central

Princess Alexandra has noticeably stepped up the number of engagements she has been carrying out over the past few weeks, ending speculation that she may have retired from public duties.

The Queen?s cousin, who turns 85-years-old next month, conducted nine engagements in October, with a further five carried events held in September.

Prior to this, Her Royal Highness had only conducted four engagements from January to August, and conducted a total of ten engagements in the entirety of 2020.

This is no doubt due to the global health crisis of the past 20 months which has seen all members of The Royal Family significantly reduce their workload.

Nevertheless, it appears that Princess Alexandra has now returned a full diary of work.

There was much speculation in 2019 that the Princess would retire from public life after suffering from numerous injuries.

In 2018, HRH conducted 67 engagements, despite being away from work for three months with a broken wrist.

The Princess suffered a similar injury in 2017 when she broke her wrist and similarly had to cancel three months worth of engagements.

Alexandra is the Patron of over 100 organisations and has been carrying out duties on behalf of The Queen for almost seven decades.

Princess Alexandra seems to have regained much of her health just lately, as does her brother. They both will undoubtedly retire once the Queen passes but at the moment it?s carry on regardless, especially where the Duke is concerned. He?s been overseas on royal duties a couple of times in the past year.
